You have a prediction that there will be a high rate of unemployment,
but these sorts of predictions started in the late 1800s with the
expansion of industry. Now you're proposing a solution for this
prediction, and believe that any opposition to this solution "does not
make sense." But you wouldn't try to solve any other problem in this
way. You wouldn't take a prediction based on loose science, and try to
solve a problem which does not yet exist. Moreover, your solution
requires taking money from people without their consent. So there is no
way that someone opposed to your prediction, and your solution, could
opt-out. I sympathize with your desire to try to solve an unrealized
problem, but ask that you do not include those who disagree with your
assessment of the problem, and your proposed solution.

I have been writing about the coming high rate of permanent

one the few ideas that shows promise. I was surprised to see that a
large experiment has actually been carried out in India and the
results are fascinating.
Whether that will apply to a more developed country remains to be
seen. Switzerland voted it down quite recently. I expect the major
difficulty here to try it would be the GOP, but logically that does
not make sense.
Thanks for linking the video.
